Sidenote: Does your reg key HKLM/System/Shell/Notifications/OEM have the value CustomUIdll pointing to notificationLayout.dll?

About the dll's:

I removed the notify.dll's from my sys, but left the modules "S00*" and other files because it would not cook without it. Or at least I have a folder in my kitchen called "unused SYS" that has the notify.dll's. I do still have them on my device now that I look. Looking at notify.dll.0409.mui it has the menu layout in it. This is in all builds I have. All the same. I thought I struck gold when I saw it, then was bummed when I found the same in 21042. Thought that might help in getting the full menu with new notifcations and newer builds. Here it is anyway:

8229 MENU
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
MENUITEM "Dismiss", 8203
POPUP "Menu"
{
MENUITEM "Remind 5 mins before", 8234
MENUITEM "Snooze 5 minutes", 8230
MENUITEM "Snooze 10 minutes", 8236
MENUITEM "Snooze 15 minutes", 8231
MENUITEM "Snooze 1 hour", 8232
MENUITEM "Snooze 1 day", 8233
MENUITEM "Dismiss All", 8221
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "View Item", 8235
}
}

Notify.dll only has the icon for when you have a notification. The alarm icon specifically.

If you are talking about having the same icons in the notification manager's buttons as on the taskbar(Topaz notifactions), all of the icons look like they are kept in NotificationManager.dll. An ineresting thing I found in NotificationRes.dll also, looks like there is a second copy of the background and some of the graphics for the notification manager :confused:

If you use AT&T media net, for some reason it uses an icon from phcanoverbmp.dll in the top button when connected to media net. I had to go through all my dll's and change the first icon in each group of animations or else it would show mid-animation icon in that spot. See the middle screen shot in my previous post to see what I'm talking about with the media net thing. This is after I changed the icons. If I get time, I'll try to port the icons from taskbar into the notificationmanager.dll. Time is somethin I am getting less and less of though:(

Looks like you might(might) also be able to change the color of the bars as well. I dumped the dll into a folder and there are a series of icons for each group with different bars(strength).

Sorry bout the novel :rolleyes:

I have that reg value. I tried changing the "UseDefaultUI" key to 1, but I still get the enhanced notifications. I'm not sure why that is.

I see this same code in my notify.dll.0409.mui file, and yet, no matter what I do, I cannot see it in a notification. Curious, and frustrating.

I noticed this as well with my custom taskbar. I was able to correct it in the same manner you did.

Yup, I see that too. I haven't had the time to port my custom taskbar icons into the NotificationManager.dll either. Maybe I'll do it tonight . . .
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Whew!

Easy one first;

I noticed that the stock Notify (.DLL &.MUI) are the source icons for the Notification Manager panel. I set the UseDefaultUI value to 1 and temporarily renamed the CustomUIDLL value (ex: I prefixed it with xxxx) and performed a Soft Reset.

I noticed that the Speaker and other notification related icons that appear on the Taskbar changed to the same icons that are present in the Notify .DLL/.MUI. Looking at the Notify files, I noticed that many (maybe all) of the icons symbol for the Taskbar are in there ... so it looks like the Notify files may be candidates for newer Taskbar icons - ex: like the TP2 Icons that I am using.

The tough one;

The Notify (.DLL &.MUI) cannot be removed as appears to be required for various other system notifications. Based on the behavior that I observed, I suspect the CustomUIDLL and UseDefaultUI values serve as an override for user (non-system) notifications such as Calendar, etc.

When I further examined the Enhanced Notification (.DLL &.MUI), it appears that the dialogs in these resources are bare-bones - i.e. the Menu resource is set to display "Dismiss" on the RSK.

In order to obtain the nicer look of the Enhanced Notification dialogs with the RSK configured for "Menu" (and not "Dismiss"), the appropriate resources from the Notify (.DLL/MUI) would have to be somehow duplicated into the Enhanced Notification (.DLL/.MUI).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
Are you sure about the stock Notify.dll? The ones I have only contain one icon, which is the alarm clock looking one. I found that the icons you are talking about are actually in NotificationManager.dll, but no speaker/volume. It would be really great if the notification manager could also show volume.

I am currently flashing back to my 21042 build to do another blind test. I changed the menu resource in NotificationManager.dll.0409.mui to the resources from the stock notify.dll. I wanted to see if it will even load the notifications. I have a feeling that the answer might not be in a dll, as both builds contain identical dll's. What about another system exe?

EDIT: Flashed, tested, still the LSK "Snooze" and RSK "Dismiss". Going back to my test build. It is actually running tiptop, and I'm not sure if I want to change now :) Although I do like the icons on the notifications, I can live without them for the added menu functions. I think the shell32.exe must have done something else to make it more responsive as well.

@Captain_Throwback: What icons are you using? Would be a great timesaver if you shared the modified dll. Especially if you are using cornero's taskbar. I use that with a few alterations like my waitcursor and a different battery meter. I know a lot of people are using the same icons.

I also noticed that the icons I replaced do not seem to render correctly. Seems they are somehow stretched. They dont look the same as the one showing on taskbar. Also I have a tiny white spot in top left corner which seems like the original icon is behind this one, or the stretching has caused it :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'm actually using tsowen's 6.5 taskbar. 6.5 uses different dlls for stuff than 6.1, so you probably couldn't use my edited version anyway :rolleyes:.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
Oh well, I'll get around to it soon enough.

Also, did some more testing today trying to get those notification icons on my 20771. I can now cross the XIP off the list of possibilities. I am using 21042 XIP. I'm just gonna keep changing stuff out till I finally find it,

if

I find it. LOL. Think I'm gonna run with this mixed ROM a while and see how it performs.

Question, I know this is most likely in Da_G's kitchen thread or something, but I did do a little searching and couldn't find it. I want to keep with my old style kitchen but update SYS/XIP to some 6.5 stuff. How do I convert the new style kitchen's XIP/SYS to old style? Found something to convert old to new, but not vice versa. Or how would I do it manually? Thanks in advance

EDIT: The swapped XIP resulted in some really fast performance, but also some bugs. Sound just goes away sometimes until soft rest, and the battery would mysteriously drop a few % sometimes. I mean I look at battery at 1:10PM then look again at 1:20PM and I am from 90% down to 75%. Can someone PLEASE direct me to any 6.5 XIP/SYS for old style kitchen? Or tell me how I can convert the XIP?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] drazah101:
How do i edit the shortcut icons in the ROM ? Also does anybody have any links to where i can get some for folders and shortcuts.

EDIT: Got another Q. How would i go about preloading a .provxml file, i have an idea to try now but i shall see if it works !

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HueMann:
Ok.....Hello......Still very new to the whole Windows Mobile thing. This I have to say before asking any of my (what you WILL concider) idiotic questions.

I am not as young or as Smart as any of you here. But all my searches lead me back to this Treasure Trove of infrormation you call xda forum.

So with all that said, here is the first of my many stupid questions.

i have built my first (if you could call it build) ROM using Da g's Kitchen.

Works Great but I still have a problem adding my own cab files to the initial install. Titanium Weather for example!.... Tweaks, Toolbar, Games, Programs..... How do you go about adding them to your finished ROM???
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HueMann:
And now for my next stupid question.....

How do you add all the swedish tweaks to the firmware???

Hardware Keyboard, T9, etc...

I have the "after FLASH" solutions thanx to jimmyhawkin but my question is how do I add it to my (( .nbh ))!???
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
If you want to do cab installs, that's actually pretty easy. Look in the Operatorpkg in the OEM folder. You'll probably see a cab or two there (and maybe an .xml and some .provxml's). Put the cab in that folder, then edit the config_operator.txt. (CAB: \windows\nameofcab.cab, or something like that).

If you want to actually cook the apps in as a package, I'd suggest going over to the tutorial section of ppckitchen.org and reading rstoyguy's thread on creating packages or oems from cabs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
Thought I would ask this again, since there was no reply the last time. How can people using old style kitchen use XIP and SYS from new style kitchen? Is there a way to convert back to old style? Or are we basically stuck and can only use new style kitcen? I have my kitchen setup just perfect, and don't want to change. Can someone offer some help her? I'd lik to try the 6.5 stuff, but every time I cook with new kitchen everything is buggy and I can't find XIP for older kitchen. I can cook the same exact ROM in old kitchen ie:build 20771 and then cook in new, and bugs are there that were not present in old kitchen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] danthman2000:
Da_G has his old kitchens still available on his first post in his 6.5 ROM thread. up to 21500 and 21210, which are still great builds, and enough to work with.. as far as moving the new SYS to the old kitchen, you should direct that at the master chef himself, and he has always been very helpful.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
Thanks. Didn't notice the older style ones there too. I'll give it a try. At least its a start ;) Maybe one of these days Da_MAN can write a Tutorial or something. Thanks again
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
Ok, finally making the switch to new kitchen after much searching for compatible XIP\SYS for old kitchen(thanks for posting one at last minute Da_G, but was having some problems with the porting). Would like to know, is there a file I can edit like the project file in old kitchen to include a splash? see my post a few posts back for example.

Also, with new kitchen, it seems to take way too long to cook. I mean actual cooking after pressing create ROM. Does the kitchen run through every package even if it is deselcted/skipped? Should I remove unused packages to speed this up? any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Wordsmith9091:
I've got a question related to the one that started this thread, on organizing the start menu.

In my 6.5 ROM, I've just spent the last few hours organizing the menu, using a hodge-podge of methods. I basically hunted down whatever directed the .lnk to its destination for each item -- so I spent a lot of time in provxmls, in initflashfiles.dat, and in app.dat files.

It all worked, but now I notice that all of the custom icons set with Start_Icon png files aren't there for anything I moved out of its original location.

Looking at mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml, it looks settings for icons for anything not in the root of the start menu got nested in another setting for the folder itself. For example:

<characteristic type="Office Mobile">
<parm name="Group" value="1" datatype="boolean" />
<parm name="Rank" value="900000788" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Office.png" datatype="string" />
<characteristic type="PowerPoint Mobile.lnk">
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_PowerPoint.png" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Word Mobile.lnk">
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Word.png" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Excel Mobile.lnk">
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Excel.png" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="OneNote Mobile.lnk">
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_OneNote.png" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

IS that really the only way to do this? And each time I change my mind about what folder a .lnk is in, I'd have to edit it again here? I get the feeling I'm missing something.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
afaik that's how it's done now and in the near future

:(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] monx®:
Another way is the classic initflashfiles.dat/txt way + pre-configured registry entries.

A set of querries..

hello frnd. i have faced a few problems cooking wm6.5 roms recently. which if you find a solution then share with me asap. am not releasing newer version of my roms cause am busy with my exams and not able to get enough time to fix these bugs.

1st of all am using da_g's kitchen for wm6.5:

here are the problems i am having..

1st. i use youtube that does not require touch flo 3d. you only provided me with the oem. i open application. it loads the videos section. but when i click on any video to view it, i get an error " cannot play this video" i have tried to cook flashlite3 as well as the oone in da_g's kitchens but with no help.

2nd where can i get oem or cab for htc gesture 2. tried searching.

3rd Da_g's recording modification with wm dialer is great. but is it possible to add it to htc dialer?? although have sent him this ques but still if other could fine a soln.

4th how to change link to chome photos directry

5th i dont want date and time setting to start on clicking clock at chome. i dont want anything to happen when i click on clock in titanium.

6th the volume managers do install and work fine normally. but during call, i do not get the call volume display to change call volume. instead i get the usual system and ring volume control display and am unable to change call volume. i have tried both standard and topaz volume manager. could be a build issue but not able to fins a soln yet.

am using notification menu with buttons. could this be causing the issue.?

if you are able to find any possible solutions then feel free to let me know.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xmsnx:
I am using the ervius kitchen with wm6.5 rom, but I cannot find the location of the widget lnks anywhere (MSN Money, Weather and search widget) :(

Also even though I have edited mxipupdate_RemoteDesktopMobile.provxml in OEM\BlackStone\0409\OEM_Lang_0409 it doesn't seem to move the shortcut. (I cannot find any reference to the icon in Sys\21728\SHARED\COMMON\RemoteDesktopMobile or Sys\21728\SHARED\0409\RemoteDesktopMobile_Lang_0409)

Does anyone know? Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] danthman2000:
Check your initflashfiles.dat for

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"):-File("\x0049\x006E\x0074\x0065\x0072\x006E\x0065\x0074\x0020\x0053\x0068\x0061\x0072\x0069\x006E\x0067\x002E\x006C\x006E\x006B","\Windows\IntShrUI.lnk")

I also cannot find the location for the Widgets .lnk files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
In the 21222 kitchen, you'll find them in EXT\Shared\WindowsPhone_Components\Widgets.

Anyone knows where they're located in 21725/21728?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] naimsiddiq:

Hi.

Where in the kitchen do I put the sys and xip.bin from 21728, so I can cook a new rom. Right now I'm using 21725 xip and 21234 build so WMP acts right. Like to try something new.

Thanks in advance.

rhodium menu enhancement

hey how do u great cooks out there get the menu enhancement to work with wm6.5. iv tried a few times and havent gotten it to work. can one of u guys help with some info on this?

-thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I have a few questions for you:

Which version of Menu Enhancement are you using?

Are you also including the Shared Modules in your ROM?

Do you have TouchFLO 3D cooked in?

There are likely a few dependencies for the Menu Enhancement to work properly. Also, if you don't have TF3D included in your ROM (or even if you do, and it's disabled), there's a registry key that needs to be added in order for the Menu Enhancement to work. SEE HERE for the required key.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] t76sTaNg:
Hey thanks for the response. I ended up getting it to work when i cooked the EnableManilaCheck reg hack into the rom. :D

How can we change *.LNK shortcuts icons and folders icons which are created by initflashfiles.dat?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jug6ernaut:
initflashfiles.dat dont make shortcut only move them.

BUT easiest way is to do it with MortScript.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TAEL:
So Mortscript can change shortcuts icons?

//

By a command like this I can create shortcut from an OEM (by initflashfiles) :

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("[B]shortcut-name[/B].lnk","\Windows\[B]oem-exe-filename[/B].lnk")

Now I want to change the created shortcut's icon (shortcut-name.lnk in above examle), for folders like this too.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
If you're working on a 6.5 rom, you can change the icon of the short-cut in the start menu with a registry change. I have a mortscript folder in my start menu, and here is how I set the icon for it:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Mortscript]

"Rank"=dword:000003dc

"Icon"="\\Windows\\icon_mort.png"

"Group"=dword:00000001

"Favorite"=dword:00000001

"FavoriteOrder"=hex:80,d9,c0,d0,78,da,c9,01

I'm not sure what the restrictions are on the icon; I just used the same specs that Showaco uses in the start icons he includes in reSTART (I think 48x48 .png files).

Alternatively, you can set folder icons with an icon.lnk file. I prefer this, because then it shows up in File Explorer and Total Commander. You can also set icons for start programs using the "Icon" value, or you can use the stock icon that comes with the program and that is packed in the .exe file.

If you're working on a 6.1 rom, you can't use a .png file for the start menu icons (as far as I know). If you want to get fancy with the icons in that case, I recommend taking a look at SK Shortcut Manager. They have a nice demo available (S-K-Tools.com). You can play all sorts of tricks easily with it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jug6ernaut:
oOo hmm is this 6.5 or 6.1?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TAEL:
Thanks friend. Can you explain more about keys and values? Rank, Group, Favorite, FavoriteOrder.

WM6.5
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
The rank sets how high up in the start menu folder the icon appears. It's easiest to set that with reSTART. Don't ask me why, but in decimal the highest rank # is 999 and then it goes down from there. I don't know what the hell FavoriteOrder does, all I can tell you is that you need it. Without that value, the icon goes to the bottom of the menu (either in the start menu root folder or a sub-folder). I know this because some of my start folders only had the rank and maybe group values, and I could not get them set up in the root folder the way I wanted to save my life. I fixed it by moving things around manually instead of using reSTART (long press on the icon; select move to top). The manual shifting created the proper values, in case you find you are missing some of them. Having Favorite=1 puts the folder or shortcut in the root of the start menu directory. I'm not sure what 'Group' does.

The 6.5 start menu is kind of a bugger to work with (as I'm sure you're finding), in part because of the registry keys that can change up the icon order, instead of just organizing them alphabetically. You will find that shortcuts are sent to the start menu in your kitchen in initflashfiles.dat, in app.dat files and also in provxml's. One way to clean it up is to just live with all the random links and then use a mortscript during customization to delete links you don't use and to shift links from one folder to another as needed. Here's an example; I use this to delete the stock games icon.

SetFileAttribs("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\icon.lnk",FALSE)
delete("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\icon.lnk")

I'll still end up with a stupid registry entry for the icon, but I just ignore it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cruiserrr:
Hi, do you know how can I run a mortscript to create shortcuts using RunCC? (not xda_uc)

Note: I do the trick with VMPmscrexe.exe, renamed as the mscrscritp I want to execute, eg. myscript.mscr. Then I add myscript.exe to the config_operator file. However I would like to have a direct solution if possible
